Flagged ingredients (4)

Ingredients with a documented concern, from official datasets and our reviewed database.

Severity 4/10Editorial
Sensitive skin: Use with cautionEczema-prone: Use with caution
  • Allergy risk:Named Allergen of the Year 2004; impurities (amidoamine) drive most reactions.

A mild coconut-derived surfactant in countless 'gentle' cleansers. Most allergy is caused by manufacturing impurities, so quality varies by brand.

Disodium EDTA

chelating agent

Severity 3/10Editorial
  • Environmental impact:Poorly biodegradable; can remobilize heavy metals in waterways.

A metal-binding stabilizer that is safe on skin at the tiny amounts used; its criticism is environmental persistence.

Decyl Glucoside

surfactant

Severity 2/10Editorial
  • Allergy risk:Occasional contact allergen (Allergen of the Year 2017 family).

A gentle sugar-based cleanser used in baby and sensitive-skin washes; allergy is uncommon but documented.

Sodium Benzoate

preservative

Severity 2/10Editorial
  • Irritation:Can cause transient, non-allergic flushing/stinging on reactive skin.

A food-grade preservative generally regarded as one of the gentler options; occasional non-immune stinging is its main drawback.

Pore-clogging potential (1)

Ingredients rated likely to clog pores — relevant if your skin is acne-prone. This is a separate indicator and is not part of the safety score.

Indicative Fulton-scale ratings from published dermatology references — not a regulator classification; individual reactions vary.

No concerns found (9)

Ingredients that are unflagged in our reviewed database, reviewed safe by the CIR panel, or on an EU permitted list.

Recognized ingredients (1)

Catalogued in official cosmetic-ingredient inventories (EU CosIng and others) with no safety flag on record. Being recognized isn't a safety guarantee — it means the ingredient is on record but no authority has published a concern.

  • Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate· surfactant - cleansing

Not enough data (1)

Not found in any dataset we hold (often trade-name blends or very niche ingredients), so we can't assess them — this is not a safety judgment either way.

  • Parfum. [PR-019204]

This report is informational, not medical advice. Assessments summarize published findings (EU CosIng, IARC, ECHA, CIR, SCCS and others) about ingredients — not clinical testing of this specific product. Exposure, concentration and individual sensitivity all matter. Consult a dermatologist for medical concerns.

Reported to the FDA (18)

The US FDA has 18 adverse-event reports on file naming this product, most often for neoplasm malignant, thermal burns of eye, hypersensitivity.

These are unverified consumer and manufacturer submissions to openFDA— they don't establish that the product caused the reaction, and are not part of the safety score. Shown for transparency.
